Hi!

So, I would like to model the stress on a rough pipe wall. I know that the most accurate method of conducting this analysis is to run a cosimulation between my fluids and solids models in ABAQUS/CFD and ABAQUS/Standard; however, I want to first look at the problem assuming a one-way coupling approach. In other words, I would like to first treat the wall as being rigid and obtain the surface tractions on it via a fluid model. Then, I would like to apply this traction on a solid model of the pipe wall via ABAQUS/Standard. The other day, I learned I could define an analytical field and select the results from my fluids model to apply to the solids model. However, when I attempted to do this, it appears as if the traction in the final frame only is being applied. I want to look at this as a dynamic problem and need to apply the tractions at each frame in the fluids model to the solids model. Is there a way to do this with the analytical fields tool, and if not is there a simple way to go about this process? Thanks and have a great day!
